And Death Shall Have No Dominion

[instrument intro] [pre-chorus] And death shall have no dominion? Dead men naked they shall be one! [verse] With the man in the wind and the west moon. When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone! They shall have stars at elbow and foot; Though they go mad they shall be sane, Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; [chorus] Though lovers be lost love shall not; And death shall have no dominion. [chorus] And death shall have no dominion! Under the windings of the sea? [verse] They lying long shall not die windily. Twisting on racks when sinews give way. Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break! Faith in their hands shall snap in two? And the unicorn evils run them through. [chorus] Split all ends up they shan't crack! And death shall have no dominion? [chorus] And death shall have no dominion! No more may gulls cry at their ears? [verse] Or waves break loud on the seashores! Where blew a flower may a flower no more! Lift its head to the blows of the rain. Though they be mad and dead as nails! Heads of the characters hammer through daisies? [chorus] Break in the sun till the sun breaks down! And death shall have no dominion! [instrument outro] And death shall have no dominion! And death shall have no dominion! And death shall have no dominion! [fade] [end]
